He never thought that people like Ao Bai would be so loyal to the Qing Emperor!
If this Fulin really had the ability of his father, or even half of it, even if he had no power now, with the support of the younger generation of the Qing Dynasty, he would become very difficult to deal with.
Of course, just because Dorgon had this worry does not mean that he decided to usurp the throne.
It's that he holds the power of the Qing emperor, and at least while he can still move it, he doesn't want to hand it over.
Imperial power is so tempting to everyone!
At this moment, Dorgon suddenly hoped very much that Bumbutai would stick to his point of view, disagree with Obai and others, and even scold them!
However, he was disappointed again.
Bumbutai looked at his son and suddenly said: "My son is only ten years old, but he has the courage to drive and conquer personally. This responsibility is really inherited from his father, and he will definitely lead the Qing Dynasty to become stronger in the future...
"
Hearing her words, Dorgon regretted it. He shouldn't have been forced like this just now, but now it's better. Being used by Bumbutai, I'm afraid more tribesmen will recognize this little emperor!
At this moment, he suddenly hated Duduo.
You said, OK, why did you grab Hong Chengchou's drinking utensils and end up in a state of half-death? Isn't this your own fault? Otherwise, with him here, how could things happen today!
When he robbed Mrs. Fan Wencheng, he should have been severely punished. Maybe he wouldn't have robbed Hong Chengchou of his drinking utensils!
This problem is something you just get used to!
But at this point, no matter how much you complain, it's useless.
After all, Dorgon was a man who wanted to do great things. He quickly adjusted his mentality. After Bumbutai finished his impassioned speech, he continued: "Whether the Qing Dynasty will be stronger in the future depends on whether our Qing Dynasty can fight
Win this battle. As I said just now, this battle is a life-and-death battle for the Qing Dynasty. No matter who it is, if you hold back in this battle, I will definitely deal with it seriously and will never tolerate it!"
The ugly things have been said before, so I asked you to support Fulin, and when I turn around I will send you to the front line!
However, no one dared to object to his words.
The severity of the situation is obvious to all! Most people actually know that if Dorgon hadn't been supporting him, the situation in the Qing Dynasty might have been even worse!
To say that it was not Dorgon who caused the current situation, but the defeat that started when Huang Taiji was still there. Even Huang Taiji's own death was related to the sudden turn for the worse.
At this time, after the decision was made, Jierhalang of Haizhou was secretly summoned back to Shengjing, and then met again to discuss this war.
In order to keep the final decision secret, at least until the army gathered in Haizhou, Fulin could not lead the expedition in person. Instead, he found an excuse for hunting, and the regent accompanied the Qing emperor to move to Liaoyang.
There is only one hundred and twenty miles from Liaoyang to Haizhou, with Anshanyi Checkpoint in the middle. If something happens, you can reach Haizhou quickly by riding a horse.
Jierhalang led Nikan and rushed to the grassland to take charge of the overall situation.
According to the agreement, the Battle of the Grasslands will start half a month before the start of the Liaodong War. This will attract the attention of the Ming army and facilitate the decisive battle in Jinzhou.
Jianlu is preparing for this battle in full swing!
……………………
Naturally, they didn't know that the Ming army was also secretly preparing for a war.
The generals from the two big cities of Jinzhou and Ningyuan led a group of cavalry and rushed to Shanhaiguan.
Now the imperial court's deployment in Ningjin has been adjusted to Jinzhou's first general and deputy generals, namely Yan Yingyuan and Liu Wenxiu.
Yan Yingyuan is good at defense, and Liu Wenxiu is good at maneuvering.
On weekdays, Yan Yingyuan was in charge of the overall situation in Jinzhou, while Liu Wenxiu sent troops from time to time to harass the Haizhou front line, but the scale was relatively small.
On the Ningyuan side, Zhou Yuji is in charge. On the nearby island, Juehua Island, there is also a fleet of more than 20 warships stationed. They do not belong to the Denglai Navy and are regarded as water forces controlled by Zhou Yuji.
Suddenly, all the city lords and generals received military orders and rushed to the Shanhaiguan Governor's Mansion. It was obvious that something big must have happened.
Therefore, they rushed to Shanhaiguan after arranging defense as soon as possible.
However, what surprised them was that Master Du did not convene a military meeting at the first opportunity, but instead asked them to gather at the school grounds with the soldiers who came with them. This made them a little strange.
Yan Yingyuan was relatively taciturn, but Liu Wenxiu couldn't help it, and asked Zhou Yuji curiously: "Master Marquis, the Governor has summoned us all. If you don't have a military meeting, why are you here at the school?"
After Zhou Yuji heard this, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the soldiers they had brought with them, who were standing behind them. There were about five hundred people in total.
Then, he looked at the two comrades beside him and asked them: "Are these people you brought with you also required by the military order of the Governor, that they must be sharpshooters in the army?"
Hearing his question, Yan Yingyuan and Liu Wenxiu both nodded. Liu Wenxiu replied: "Exactly! What does the Marquis mean, is it related to this?"
Zhou Yuji listened, nodded, and said with confidence: "If I guessed correctly, His Majesty may have invented another good thing, probably related to fire guns, so he asked us to select sharpshooters from the army!
"
He was one of Emperor Chongzhen's most trusted generals. In the past few years, he had been guarding the capital and had stayed with Emperor Chongzhen for a long time.
Therefore, Zhou Yuji understands better than others how powerful the capital's military situation is!
Hearing what he said, Liu Wenxiu was overjoyed and immediately nodded in response: "That means there should be better fire guns, which should have better range and accuracy than the ones we use now. Only the Governor can do that."
Let’s bring the sharpshooters here specifically?”
After hearing this, Yan Yingyuan agreed with Liu Wenxiu's statement, but to be honest, he felt that it was a bit of a fuss.
He is a famous archer in the army. He can shoot a hard bow and shoot accurately.
If he were asked to choose between a musket and a bow, he would definitely choose a bow. Although it doesn't last long, the bow and arrow can shoot very fast!
As for the effective killing range, Yan Yingyuan's bows and arrows are better than the army's muskets. And there are also some people in the army who can shoot hard bows.
In Yan Yingyuan's view, the reason why fire guns are so popular in the military is that ordinary people can use them with simple training, unlike bows and arrows, which require years of training.
According to Zhou Yuji, the Governor should actually select a group of people with outstanding long-range killing abilities.
This kind of tactic is actually very common, whether it is his men or Jianlu's side, they have always done it.
However, it is basically impossible to shoot enemy generals because they have personal guards responsible for protecting them. If they are far away, the guards can block them; if they are close, there is no chance to shoot them, and they have to fight hand-to-hand.
.
While he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a movement. He turned around and saw that Du Yinxi, the governor of Jiliao, was coming. So, he, Zhou Yuji and others hurriedly greeted him.
Following Du Yinxi, there was also a group of musketeers, which looked nothing special.
However, seeing Du Yinxi's appearance, Zhou Yuji, Liu Wenxiu and others immediately understood that it was really related to the fire gun!
Sure enough, after Du Yinxi asked them to excuse themselves, he said to them with a smile: "Your Majesty has recently invented a batch of muskets, named Shenwei Rifles. They are so powerful that they have never been seen in his life. However, the quantity is limited, so it is
Let you select sharpshooters from the army and use them first."
When Zhou Yuji heard that Emperor Chongzhen actually named it the Divine Rifle, his curiosity suddenly aroused. Hearing the name, he felt that this gun must be very powerful.
So, he asked a little excitedly: "Mr. Governor, is this gun very powerful?"
Yan Yingyuan was a little disapproving after hearing this. There are many good names for bows and arrows, but so what, how can it be so powerful no matter how powerful it is?
He is a calm person. Although he has such thoughts in his heart, he will not say it out loud, let alone try it with his archery skills. He does not believe that no matter how powerful he is, he can be better than his archery skills? Is this really the case?
If so, wouldn’t all his years of practicing archery be in vain!
Du Yinxi looked at them, the smile on his face could not be concealed, and said to them: "Don't talk about it first, you can take a look first. To be honest, I can't wait, and I hope that all the officers and men in the army will
The day will come when everyone can use this powerful rifle!"
Hearing his words, Zhou Yuji and Liu Wenxiu became even more curious. Is it such an exaggeration?
Even Yan Yingyuan was slightly surprised. The Governor said so, is this divine rifle really that powerful?
Du Yinxi looked at them and immediately ordered the team of musketeers he brought over: "Come on, show them the power of the Shenwei rifle!"
At the same time, he turned to look at Zhou Yuji and others and said, "What they are using now is this Shenwei rifle!"
When Zhou Yuji and others heard this, they couldn't help but turn around quickly, wanting to see what was so unique about the musket with such a powerful name and so much praise from the Governor?
As a result, they watched the team of musketeers take off their Divine Rifles from their backs, and step out of the queue to prepare for shooting at the range. In the process, they couldn't see that this Divine Rifle was different from the one used in the military today.
What is the difference between the common flintlock muskets used?
This made Zhou Yuji and the others even more curious! They opened their eyes wide and looked more carefully. Then, they finally discovered the difference, that is, the lead bullets were specially made.
After making this discovery, they saw that the gun target was actually very far away!
Seeing this posture, even Yan Yingyuan was shocked. Isn't the range a bit exaggerated?
